ABOUT ME

Born and raised in a part of the world you might not be so familiar with - good ol' Kansas City, Missouri. Midwest boy gone international. I'm sick; I caught the bug and never looked back. I love to laugh, dance, and get a little crazy. Music and food keep me content. I am easily excited by new landscapes. Different = Beautiful. Wanting to see it ALL.

PHILOSOPHY

Every soul has something to offer to this beautiful chaos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wanting to meet, greet, and explore.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed Brasil from Florianópolis to São Paulo and loved every moment of it. Many times I've had hosts reach out to me first to offer me a place to stay while I pass through their city and those have been some of my best experiences. I travel alone often so I love using couchsufing to help me make friends along the way!
